Hi,
how can I set the language for "date picker" form control in a web application ? For instance, french.
Our document have
set on the root and the user interface is also set to "french" but the date is write in english. I tried to set language in URL with lang=fr without success too. Maybe, this is something to be set on java level ? or when the webapp is starting ?
I have no problem with desktop version of these framework.
Our CSS looks like
Code: Select all
content:
oxy_datePicker(
edit, '#text',
columns, 16, validateInput, 'true',
format, 'dd MMMMMMMM yyyy', fontInherit, 'true', color, 'darkblue');
visibility: -oxy-collapse-text;
}
Thanks !

Hello,
In order for the oxy_datePicker to display a specific date format, it is necessary to check the following aspects:
1. The way the date format is displayed depends on the default system locale settings.
On Windows, you can find this option in Control Panel: Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click Regional Settings (or Regional Options) and select your desired format. in order for it to take effect in Web Author, you need to close and reopen the browser.
2. The language in the browser also needs to be changed:
For example, in Google Chrome, follow this steps:
- At the top-right of the address bar, click the three dots, and click Settings.
- From the left side of Chrome, click Languages.
- Click Add languages: English (United Kingdom) for dd/mm/yyyy format. ...
- Click the three dots against the chosen language. ...
- Restart the Chrome browser for the changes to reflect.
Best Regards,
Cosmin

Hi Cosmin,
Thanks for answering. My locale is set to "French" on my system (MacOs) and in Firefox also. But the data picker still uses an english date (ex: "November" instead of "novembre").
Is there an other way to set this parameter ? Maybe it's something related to webauthor configuration on server ?

Hello,
We managed to reproduce the issue you reported, and we have recorded an issue (WA-6939) on this matter.
Normally, for the language change to take effect for datePicker, you just need to have xml:lang set (which you have already confirmed in your case), and the desired language should be selected from the Web Author application interface.
Once we have a solution in this regard, we will notify you here on the forum.
Best Regards,
Cosmin

Hi Cosmin, do you have any update about this issue ? It's really annoying for our users, and it slow off the adoption of oxygen webauthor for them.
A fix or a workaround would be great.
